| Phrase | solid |
| Text | The word "solid," in this podcast, means to be reliable, trustworthy, and good: "Her math skills are solid, but her writing skills needs improvement." Normally, "solid" describes a substance that is hard or firm, not a liquid or a gas: "At what temperature does liquid water turn into solid ice?" The word "solid" can also mean entirely or throughout: "Is that vase solid gold?" Sometimes "solid" means not hollow, without any empty space: "It looked like a solid chocolate bunny, but when we picked it up, we could tell it was hollow." The phrase "packed solid" means very crowded or full: "The ferry was packed solid with commuters." Finally, the phrase "on solid ground" means confident, comfortable, and in a secure or safe position: "After hours on the boat, we were relieved to be back on solid ground." Or, "Any scientific lecturer who wants to be on solid ground needs to mention reliable research." |
